I still like at least 60% of my sound to come from the back, for me, for the band, for the audience (a bit) then front of house can give a nice bit of middle/top edge to the sound. The band like to hear my sound from the back of the stage (ie, where I stand) and not through the front of stage monitors.

The Funk Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ah! So your set-up is Pick-up -> Backline, Mic -> FOH? I'm intrigued now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued now.[/quote] Yes, but as I said, it is a rare opportunity for me to use FOH. My everyday setup, like most double bassists, is backline from pickup. The further a listener is from the backline the bass increases and the mid/top decreases. So the FOH can redress some of that imbalance.
